Suffering from long term hypothyroidism.
My mother is a long term thyroid patient.
We got my mother's following levels checked:
T3-1.20, T4-11.10, TSH- 0.453
25(OH)vit D-19.1
She is on Eltroxin 100 since Jan 2020. She had also taken D-Rise 60k for 3 months.
Please suggest if there needs to be any change in Eltroxin dosage and if D rise needs to be taken again.
She is also on antipsychotic medicine for more than 1.5yrs now. She is taking Arpizol 15mg and pacitane 2mg. She is having mild tremors as side effevt of these medicines.
Prescriptions attached.
